What Is 5G | Mama Mimi Microschool

5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology. 5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. The technology uses millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum and a new radio access technology called New Radio (NR), which provides a more efficient and flexible way of transmitting data. 5G supports massive connectivity for sensors and machines, commonly referred to as the Internet of things (IoT). Major players such as Verizon, AT&T, and China Mobile have invested heavily in 5G. Qualcomm and Ericsson have been at the forefront of 5G research and development.
